PAL Wait Time

[Xmoose]

Mine was super fast when submitting online. I know people that have been waiting months when submitting by mail

me and the wife did the course June 6th 2026 for pal. walked out and submitted both online June 7th. started the 28 days. wife got hers in the mail jul 10th no update on RCMP or Pal status check. it stayed as submitted the entire time and just showed up in the mail. following Monday her status updated.

as of July 26th my status is still 'Submitted' We have completed the initial review of your firearms License application. If additional information is required, you will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date.

pretty bummed. this seems to be the norm tho with couples or friends at the same time. one gets it almost instantly after cool down and the other waits months.

My wife got hers after the minimum cool-down time. Her name was misspelled though.

Feb 20th 2024 took course
Feb 20th 2024 completed application
Sept 3 2024 I was told application was waiting to be assigned to an officer
Feb 8 2025 Application approved
Card in hand March 1st 2025

I would recommend calling quite frequently maybe once a week. My application was not moving at all until I started to call in constantly. Few buddies did the same and it seemed to help also.

If yourself, & others can *Include' -what Province you are..would be helpful.{to others}
